A HUNT FOR RED – JANUARY

P1220022 

P1220013 We've had some nice mid-winter days here at the Shores, but reds are still pretty scarce.

This post is the result of a recent morning's  photo safari around our immediate neighborhood.   

Most of the reds I found were very much on the subtle side of the spectrum.P1220016   

But there are signs of Spring to come.

    So many gals like pink – I love red – the heart – the color of passion – it makes you feel so alive doesn’t it?
    Love your pictures Sallie.

  2. I’m told the tree is a Japanese Red-Barked Maple. As RVers we do our gardening vicariously — enjoying the efforts of those who live more stable lives! Glad everybody liked the reds.

  3. All that red is so cheerful. It’s very gray here in Northern California. I really like the red tree.

  4. What is the red tree (?) in the last picture? I’ve never seen anything like that before. No reds here, but my inside daffodils are blooming and the garden has some shoots (snails had a good go at them while I was in hospital but there are still some left!) – so hopefully spring will continue to push her way forward 🙂

  5. That’s a lovely color for us here whose ground is white and naked brown trees ^_^

  6. The red tree and especially its trunk, is outstanding. It sort of reminds me of manzanita wood but with a hint of extra brightness.
    Sally – go to Picnik.com and explore the collage possibilties (and other things) there. Easy to use and lots of cool editing options will be at your fingertips.

  7. Red? We’re just green and white, with brown bark!!!
    Thanks for visiting!

  8. Sallie, you found wonderful red. Is that last photo a red twig dogwood?

  9. Beautiful! They’d look great in my yard!

  10. Lovely Sallie!
    I don’t know what that last red branch tree is but I know I WANT one. 🙂

  11. Ah, to find some red during the winter is a miracle – and a cheerful one too!
